Conjoined Twins Defy Odds And Start Very First Day Of School

Four-year-old twins Rosie and Ruby Formosa are getting a lot of attention as they start their first day of school. The two were born joined at the abdomen and only had 25 per cent chance of survival.

"It's a day I never expected to happen at some points," says their mom, Angela, about the girls going to school in their town of Bexleyheath, England. "I never thought this far ahead."

Unique Baby Names For Your Twins

Choosing names in the same style offers a nice connection. Whether they are classic, modern or even inspired by books or TV, they will have a natural flow when paired together.
Our suggestions: Matilda and Eloise (books), Blake and Seth (modern), Oscar and Eleanor (old school)

Celebrity baby names are often unique, which is why they make great inspiration, especially when it comes to twins. Here are a few of our favourites: Vivienne and Knox (Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt), Harper and Gideon (Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka), and Max and Emme (Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony).
Although these are quite unique from one another, they make a harmonious pair. Following this rule, here are our suggestions for distinct twin names: Owen and Isaiah, Kit and Arlo, and Naomi and Fiona.

Give your twins' names a subtle connection with their meaning. This is a lovely way to link them and to make them more personal to you.
Our suggestions: Asher and Jayden (“thankful”), Esme and Imogen (“beloved”), Bridget and Griffin (“strong”)

This is certainly a creative way to find twin names. In these pairs, one spells the other in reverse.
Our suggestions: Aidan and Nadia, Iris and Siri, Noel and Leon, Heaven and Nevaeh

Place names are always trendy, but you have to be careful when using this theme for twins. Using the most common place name pairs might seem cheesy (i.e. London and Paris), so try thinking outside the box!
Our suggestions: Cairo and Dakota, Austin and Ireland, Eden and Savannah

Reflect your culture in your babies’ names by choosing ones with the same heritage. Another idea is to choose one name that reflects one side of the family’s culture, and one name to reflect the other. For instance, a family who is both French and Irish might go with Luc (French) and Rory (Irish) for their twins.
Our suggestions: Niall and Teagan (Irish), Manu and Luka (Hawaiian), Isla and Cruz (Spanish)

Nature is a broad theme which gives you a lot of flexibility when naming your twins.
Our suggestions: Gemma and Olive, Atlas and Leo, Flint and Calla

Twins hate getting confused for each other. To avoid this, choose short and sweet names that are the complete opposite. (Who are we kidding, they're still going to be called the wrong name from time to time.)
Our suggestions: Cole and Bryce, Gwen and Kai, Belle and Eve

Show off your national pride with one of these Canadian baby names. We love this theme for finding twin names because these names represent our beautiful country and are connected in a subtle way.
Our suggestions: Hudson and Wyatt, Emy and Léa, Abbott and Mackenzie

Celestial names are on the rise and Nameberry predicts that they’ll explode in 2016. If you love the cosmos or simply like being on trend, then consider a pair of celestial names for your multiples.
Our suggestions: Phoenix and Celeste, Leo and Orion, Venus and Nova
